The poor are not people who work less hard than the rich. The poor are not those who are less deserving than the rich. The poor are not those with less potential than the rich. The poor are simply those less visible than the rich to those who have the power to affect their lives.

The poor are not less anything but money. They need and deserve a leg up. This country needs to start taxing the rich more aggressively and bring the middle class back. Now.

And crucially, poor people鈥檚 labour is exploited by the rich to make them richer, the system is built like that. And the rich exploit natural resources, contributing to climate change which disproportionately affects poor people

Maybe the rich people in congress should stop telling the poor that they are dependent on the government for their survival

Considering capital owners make their wealth based on the labor of the poor and profits have only increased while poor workers haven't seen wage increases in years, I'd say you're 100% correct here. They make their owners rich while they're forced to over-work just to live.

You people are a sad lot. You act like being poor is a disease or there is something wrong with it. There is nothing wrong with being poor. The poor people are some of the finest people I know.
